This is a piece of old, dry dog poo. Notice how it stands out for all the wrong reasons.

*The Humble Trackie Dak or is Thelma McQuillan Smoking Crack?*

Let us refer to figure A ‘The Look’.

“Chic if themed with the right jacket” Is this woman serious? Grey track pants, coral heels, an oversized winter coat, $300 bangles and oh yes, a Bally bag, quite possibly the ugliest bag we have seen.

Total price of “The Look” $3472

These words best describe the thoughts that came to mind when flicking through the weekend edition of ‘The Herald Sun’ and ‘The Age Sunday Magazines’. I understand from a public relations standpoint that when a designer wants their pieces featured in a major publication, they send the editors clothing samples, product pitches and bombard them with hundreds of phone calls until they utter the word ‘yes’.

But, when did it become acceptable to do an A4 feature on denim on denim as I quote… ‘The Look’ and ‘Making a Comeback this Season’?

If we break it down, essentially what Thelma McQuillan’s promoting is for women to take a step backwards, put aside their eye for quality fabrics, patterns and stitching and instead wear…Faded denim jeans, a denim jacket, a bandanna, sneakers and a peach pillowcase for a bag.

Just imagine a sea of women walking around the streets of Melbourne in distressed jeans, Converse and Adidas t-shirts? Let’s just hope this is one trend doesn’t take off.

Now, as for Ms Rachel Wells…  Since when was it okay to encourage women to dress up like ballerinas in tutu’s that cost $895?

What message were they trying to convey when selecting the image of the model in an asymmetrical, sparkly leotard and skirt. What’s worse is that she is holding a bunch of fresh Oriental lilies? Why?

Oh and as for Isabelle Lucas, she is notorious for topping the WORST DRESSED list. Let’s not get styling advice from her.

In conclusion, please do not post features that will  hamper the progression of ladies dressing appropriately and stylish, for their bodies and age. There is nothing elegant about wearing tulle miniskirts and denim on denim unless you’re a ballerina or a motorcyclist.
